Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2014
Château La Mission Haut-Brion is one of Bordeaux’s great estates, often spoken of alongside its legendary neighbour, Château Haut-Brion. Based in Pessac-Léognan on the edge of Bordeaux city, it produces wines of formidable power, depth and ageing potential. With origins dating back to the 16th century and under the same ownership as Haut-Brion since 1983, La Mission combines historic savoir-faire with meticulous modern winemaking. The style is famously intense and structured - typically more muscular than Haut-Brion — with layered dark fruit, tobacco, earth and spice.
Echézeaux Grand Cru, Domaine du Clos Frantin 2012
Neal Martin comments that Maison Bichot (owner of the domaine) can make “ really quite delicious, complex wines that often surprise people in blind tastings when not swayed by the label. ” We have always selected cuvées which offer comparable quality at a more attractive price than a number of big names - here you’ll find real value and drinking pleasure. Domaine du Clos Frantin is located at the heart of the Côte de Nuits in a beautiful 18th century estate in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Over 50% of their 7.3 hectares of vineyards are Premier and Grand Cru sites, all farmed organically since 2018. The domaine has the largest plantings of Vosne-Romanée’s top Premier Cru “Les Malconsorts”, one of the first in line for elevation to Grand Cru status, yet it remains a fiftieth the cost of a bottle of neighbour La Tâche!
